Ah, shit. Here we go again. What's up, you fucking
nerds? It's therealbschrec, Brandon Schrecengost,
the host of Schrec Attack. It feels good to be
back and saying fuck on the mic. Holy shit. Okay,
I'm getting a little excessive with the cussing,
I guess. However, I'm back. This feels like Pilot
2 .0. I came back, no script, no fucking filter.
Wow, I am getting carried away. Too much excitement
because I've been gone for a long time. I've
been gone for such a long time. I've heard people
saying, when is it coming back? When's the podcast
coming back? Are you done with the podcast? I
knew it wouldn't last forever. I'm back. And
for this one, we're going to do a little bit
of an introductory. video kind of like pilot
back two seasons ago if you remember that it
was my most listened to episode because i think
it got the curiosity we're going to call this
one pilot 2 .0 where i'm going to go through
and talk about why i was gone but we aren't going
to dwell on it and we're going to talk about
the future of this podcast because i'm going
to a new Distributing service so I'm going to
try to be doing new things. I have a t -shirt.
I made a t -shirt There's only one but if there's
enough interest and we get enough people into
it I can make more and more people can wear Schrec
attack t -shirts first things first. I did listen
to some feedback I shortened my theme song a
little I did have it a little long for the finale
of season 2 because I just kind of threw it together
and I didn't know where I wanted to start where
I wanted to finish I'm not sure if this is the
Final point I want it at, but I did make it shorter,
a little bit more compressed because it was quite
long to get into the podcast. And we don't want
that. We want my voice. I don't know why we want
my voice, but we want my voice. Now, I don't
know where we are going here, if we're going
to get video or not. I do believe I'm going to
get it onto YouTube in some way, shape, or form
in the future. It might not be immediate. However,
we will be on YouTube, whether it is audio or
audio and video. I'm not sure how I want to set
this up yet. I've been trying to look into a
lot of things, but I haven't come to any conclusions
because podcasting is all subscription -based.
If you want to use services, you've got to pay
for subscriptions. I have to figure out, you
know, I was going to stick with a certain distributing
company. However... They wanted to remove my
commercial that I made for the season. And then
they were super expensive for things I can get
elsewhere. So that's stuff that you're not really
interested in. However, just letting you know,
there should be a YouTube version here eventually.
How I think I'm doing it, if I'm doing this correctly,
I should be able to get clips to post online
so that you can hear random... Clips of my show.
And it might generate some things that people
might be interested in. That you can share to
other people. And it will bring more traffic
to the podcast. And that's kind of the idea right
now. Is that we want traffic to the podcast.
Why was I gone? Well, I sold my soul to the devil.
I was working seven days a week. I barely slept.
And it is what it is. You know, you do some wild
things for money. Whenever you're working seven
days a week, trying to maintain a social life,
a sleep schedule, everything balanced. It's just,
it's not something that works out too easily.
I got myself to a point in life where this was
a really good year and a really shitty year all
in one. And I got myself quite burned out on
a lot of aspects that is not here nor there.
I created that commercial with the intention
of coming back last weekend. I said, no, let
me take one more weekend for my mental health.
I had to settle down. I had to get into a headspace
where I just don't care about anything, if that
makes sense, to come back to do this podcast.
So I didn't sound like a burned out fucker. Returning
back to the t -shirt, I do have a new logo courtesy
of Sierra Wiley Photography. So go give her some
love and find her page. I'll put it in the description
so you don't have to figure out how to spell
shit. I look forward to working with Oberated
in the future. Hopefully we continue that relationship.
Just a lot of things that I'm excited to do,
and I have found my will to come back and do
this podcast. I'm sure if you listen to me throughout
Season 2... With all the changes I was going
through, with all the hours I was working, with
everything, I just sounded so fucking burned
out. I could feel it whenever I was editing my
podcast. I got to the point where I wasn't editing
at all. I was literally recording, not listening
back to it at all, and just posting it. So there
are a couple episodes out there that I have no
clue. I could have fucking coughed. or sneezed
or farted in the middle of it and just left it
there because i didn't care i was to the point
where i was so burned out i could not work on
the projects i wanted to work on and we are we're
past that and i think we are to the point where
i am good to go on a weekly basis i already have
next week's episode planned out i already have
ideas for the future of this i already have things
kind of working we'll see what comes out when
because i can't say for i can say for certain
next week is going to be talking about my predictions
for the nfl because it's going to be the first
weekend of the nfl however i have weekends off
again because i won't go into my work details
but i have weekends off again for now until they
try to do something stupid with the schedule
which i'm sure is coming but i just don't care
it's great you should try it try not caring about
anything It's a great headspace. And it sounds
weird to say, but that's kind of what I had to
do with myself because about two, three, four
weeks ago, I was stressed about everything and
I just hated my fucking life. And I got myself
so worked up, so burned out that I was like,
wait, why do I care about things that shouldn't
affect me? Things that have no, I mean, they
have an impact on my life. However, I can't control
them, so I'm not going to let them control me.
I'm in the process of trying to put myself first
again, because if I don't put myself first again,
if you don't put yourself first again, who the
fuck is going to put you first? So let's get
to it. What are we going to be talking about
in the future? A lot of things aren't changing,
actually. Like, next week I'm going to talk about
football. The week after that, I may talk about
Life is Strange because I never got around to
that. I have Shore C stuff to cover because I
never got around to that. TV shows, I watch a
lot more TV now. Hell, I've watched fucking movies
this year. I think I'm up to like five. But I'm
still going to leave that to overrated because
I'm not a professional. I might throw out an
opinion here or there. However, I'm not going
to do a full movie breakdown unless you guys
want like an overrated impersonation. podcast
for one episode with his blessing, of course,
Chris Ober. Get a hold of me. We have work to
do. I have movies to watch so I can team up with
you, and we can do that one episode we were going
to do way back in May. However, both our lives
got incredibly busy because we are adult human
beings that have to take care of ourselves. In
your case, like 20 cats. I think there's four.
I love your cats, by the way. They're wonderful
cats. I still have one to meet. Enough about
Ober Raid. This is about Shrek Attack. I have
video games to play. I have movies to watch.
I have TV shows to watch. I have animes to watch.
I have whatever you guys want me to talk about,
I can talk about. We can talk about random shit
that has nothing to do about anything entertaining.
I can just sit here and babble forever and ever.
However, I'm not used to that, if you can't tell.
And I'm back to no script, so I could just go
anywhere, anytime. We don't know where I'm going
to be heading in any fucking given moment. We
can talk about the importance of hydration, eating
properly, even though I fucking don't. Gain proper
amount of sleep, which I don't get. And the importance
of caffeine, which I do believe is very important
and I am very addicted to. Nicotine. I'm back
doing it because I work night shift. And my life
is just kind of led by caffeine, nicotine, and
hate. And I'm okay with that. And you should
be too. Because my vices aren't your vices if
you choose your vices in different ways. That
is okay. We can talk about different faces and
how they affect different things. We can talk
about psychology. We don't have any limits on
this podcast because I am not going to select
a niche. Would I get more of a target audience
with a niche? Yeah, probably. However, that's
not going to be my style because I'll get bored
talking about the same thing over and over and
over again. I just, I can't operate that way.
Too many interests, not enough time. We can talk
about, you know, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
getting engaged and how Travis Kelce used his
podcast as his personal dating platform and how
I intended to use mine on the same thing. Miranda
Cosgrove, what's up? I doubt she listens to this,
actually. I can say for a fact she doesn't listen
to this, but it'd be really cool if it worked.
Wouldn't it? Like, hey. Yeah, that's my slug
crush growing up. It was Miranda Cosgrove, and
she's still pretty cute. So, you know, it is
what it is. That's out there in the universe
now. If I hear from Miranda Cosgrove, I can die
happy. Doesn't even have to be like, you know,
a full -on date. Just like a, hey, hello, what's
up? Maybe an autograph or something. That'd be
great. That's something I would tell my children
that I will probably never have about. And it'd
be a happy moment in my life. But yeah, we can
talk about culture. We can talk about... Is that
the appropriate term for something like Travis
Kelsey and Taylor Swift? I don't know. I guess
celebrity gossip? There are so many categories
we can talk about. All you have to do is let
me know what you want me to talk about. And I
kind of do it in this ranty kind of... old man
yells at clouds kind of way even though I'm trying
to be more positive if that if you're getting
positivity from this I don't know what to tell
you except that we would probably get a long
great because I'm not in the category of putting
things down at this point I know I'm saying I
don't care about anything but I don't care about
anything a positive way of I'm not going to let
things just kind of dictate my life I have no
control over and I'm going to talk shit about
Madden and EA because we have to talk shit about
Madden and EA because they can't create a good
football game except for college football some
reason they can do that right but as soon as
it comes to the NFL they just have no clue what
the fuck they're doing I'm not sure I mean the
newest college football game I do think is decent
but I haven't got into it enough to really tell
you how good it is. I like to say that it's better,
but my sample size is small. We'll see where
we're at in five seasons whenever we have some
powerhouse teams running some leagues, you know?
I will say that I am very not used to talking
at this point. I game maybe once or twice a week
with my friends. I don't hang out with too many
people outside of my coworkers and at work. So
I'm not really... much of a talker these days
i mean i am i was a communications major and
i do want to do this podcast let's let's go down
let's go down this rabbit hole i am good at my
job i do like what i do sort of it's not exactly
what i want to say is scratching the itch though
i've always felt that I could be capable of a
little bit more. I've always felt, despite how
much I hate people and hate whenever people pay
attention to me, that I had a small taste for
the spotlight and wanted to be kinda, sorta famous.
And I'm not saying that this podcast is gonna
get me famous, but it will get ears on me. It's
given me a creative outlet that I've been severely
lacking over the past... However long I've quit
this and been inconsistent with season two. So
probably over a year. And this creative outlet
is going to let me just kind of enjoy life more.
And I don't know where it goes. I don't know
where it takes me. I would love to get an acting
gig of some sort. And I'm not even talking about
like star role in a movie. I mean, if I'm doing
like a voiceover on a fucking commercial, that'd
be cool. I do think I have the face for radio.
I mean, I mean the voice, the voice for radio.
I do think I'm funny. So whenever I talk about,
whenever I say a certain joke like that, I do
hope you have a little chuckle, even though that
is the oldest joke in the book. I don't know
what all we're going to talk about. We may talk
about things that I have no experience on, like
we do normally in every February, whenever I
talk about how dating sucks. and how my love
life is non -existent. We may talk about things
I do know about. Football. We will talk about
that definitely next week. That's next week's
episode for sure. We may talk about, I hope you
didn't hear me adjust the chair there in the
background, but once again, I want this to be
kind of raw. I'm not going to take out every
single fucking mistake I make. I am going to
go back and edit it to make sure it sounds good.
However, I'm not going to just take out mistakes
that I make, like a small adjustment to a chair
that Maya picked up on a mic because we are human
and people should know that we are not perfect
and that's okay. I am making sure that my air
conditioner and fan are off so it's not just
a constant wind sound in the background which
may lead to future summers being taken off. It
is cooler now but we'll cross that bridge when
we get there. It's not something I'm worried
about right now. I just kind of want to get this
episode out to kind of listen to myself, kind
of see what I need to do. I can already tell
from the pacing of my talking and how I am just
kind of speeding through this, I'm going to have
to slow down, which will be something I need
to work on again. I think I was getting better
at that during my old season, older episodes,
which I need to look into. And I would have to
slow down, kind of. Not space out my words, but
kind of draw them out a little, I guess. It feels
weird as a guy with a Pittsburgh accent to slow
down. I think Pittsburgh accent, Western Pennsylvania,
we kind of tend to speak faster than most people.
And which really works whenever your mouth moves
faster than your brain. And that is quite often
the case for me. However, at the same point,
my brain sometimes works faster than my mouth.
And then I overthink. And then I'm in this constant
endless cycle of everything where I just assume
everybody hates me. Which I'm kind of okay with
right now. The whole not caring thing. Hate me
if you want. Love me if you want. I hope you
do subscribe though. As this is going to be me
getting towards the end of it. Because I feel
like I'm just kind of rambling at this point.
So if you are interested in this kind of podcast
where we can talk about anything and everything.
and you have ideas that you want me to talk about,
throw them at me. Some may hit, some may not.
I'm not going to say that if you tell me to talk
about a specific thing, I will, because if you
tell me to talk about, I don't know, country
music, no, I'm not putting myself through that
torture. I don't like country music. However,
if you want me to talk about something like,
I don't know, let's say, I don't read much, I
don't read too much at all, but say you want
me to... like talk about a certain magazine.
I'm not saying I can find a magazine, this is
just an example, or a book or something. There's
potential that I go and try to talk about it
and say what I think, if I might be into it or
not, and then I might eventually get into it.
It's just, you know, throw stuff out there, see
what sticks, see what doesn't, and we'll have
a discussion. Well, I'll have a discussion. I
will probably have guests again. I do have a
board of ideas. It needs updated because it hasn't
been touched in about a year. I mean, we're talking
about, I have Life is Strange up there and I
have it to milk Life is Strange because I made
this back before Life is Strange Double Exposure
came out. And that came out in the end of October
last year. October is two months away. So, you
know. We have things that we need to update.
We have things we might still need to talk about.
They are making a new Life is Strange. So I do
have an excuse to eventually talk about that.
And I will probably go back and talk about the
games. I also want to mention that I have created
a YouTube channel. Not just for the podcast to
potentially go on to eventually. However, I also
am a gamer and I do have the capability of recording
the games I play and I may stream on YouTube
just for extra kind of if people want to interact
live or watch me game or do different kind of
content. That is a thing that we can do. So I
think I've covered mostly everything. I don't
know because I didn't write down talking points.
I didn't make a script. I put us right back to
the basics. Like I said, Pilot Point 2, where
I just kind of showed up. I think in that one
I talked about wrestling. Yeah! So we can just
kind of pretend this is Pilot Point 2 and this
is what we're going to do moving forward with
the podcast. I don't promise this podcast lasts
forever. but I do promise that we are going to
give it a good go. Like I said, I made a t -shirt,
so I have to do something to at least get one
other person on this world other than me to wear
a t -shirt as a fan of Shrek Attack. That's,
yeah, yeah, I'm setting high expectations for
myself. Somebody else get a Shrek Attack t -shirt
and wear it. That'd be great. That's awesome.
Okay, so let's get into the social medias that
you can follow. If you want to follow me personally,
I am at Therealbschrec. That is at TheRealBSchrec.
I'm not an ogre, and that's all one word. If
you type it in somewhere and you don't see me,
I don't have that social platform. If you want
to follow the Schrec Attack podcast, which I highly
recommend, please follow that one before you
follow me. It is at Schrec Attack on Instagram,
TikTok. There is a Facebook, but I'm not 100
% sure. You might just type Shrek Attack into
the search bar. I'm getting kind of boomerish
where I don't know how the socials work and the
social media platforms. And then if you want
to... What else do I have? Actually, I think
that's it. I think that's it. Schrec Attack on
YouTube. I'm not sure. It might be Schrec Attack
Podcast. That's something I'll have to look into.
Maybe tell you next week. I don't know. Follow
me on the social medias. Check out the social
medias. I'll try to post more. I kind of suck
at posting. I've kind of turned the TikTok into
a personal Brandon Schrecengost TikTok where I'm
just reposting random shit. But, you know, whenever
you're going through shit, you just kind of got
to repost stuff with your feels. Tis what it
is. Anyway, if you made it this far, stay awesome.
And I appreciate you for listening. And I hope
to see you again next week. Even though I don't
see you. I hope you listen to my voice again
next week. Wow, I am rusty. Anyway, have a great
time. Stay awesome. Hit the fucking music.
